Yamaha 205M User Manual

The CVP-205/203 utilizes a variety of data types — including voices, accompaniment styles, songs and registration 
memory settings. Much of this data is already programmed and contained in the CVP-205/203; you can also create and 
edit your own data with some of the functions on the instrument. 
All this data is stored in separate files — just as is done on a computer.
Here, we’ll show you how to use the basic operations of the display controls in handling and organizing the data of the 
CVP-205/203 in files and folders.
Files can be opened, saved, named, moved, or deleted in their respective Open/Save displays. You can select these 
displays according to their respective file types, as well: Song, Voice, Style, etc. Moreover, you can organize your data 
efficiently by putting various files of the same type into a single folder. 
The Open/Save displays for Song, Voice, Style, and Registration Bank can be called up from the MAIN display (the 
display shown when the power is turned on) by pressing the appropriate [A] - [J] button.
